San Jose police plan to resume talking to a 37-year-old father about a weekend drive-by shooting where he and his 7-year-old son were nearly struck by a stream of bullets outside their home.

Officer Jermaine Thomas said today that the man and his son were not hurt during the Friday 6:35 p.m. shooting in the 2400 block of Aram Avenue, where the two lived.

But Thomas said investigators need to do more follow-up to figure out who shot at the two and why. The father told police that the suspect slowed down his car, then took aim with a handgun, fired several shot and fled.

Police have not found the suspect, described as a man in his mid-20s driving a white, four-door Toyota Camry. And Thomas said he did not know the relationship between the suspect and the victims. “We’ll have to talk to the father some more to try to get to the bottom of this,” Thomas said.

When police arrived at the scene, Thomas said they learned that the suspect vehicle had been lit on fire just a couple of miles away on Bascom Avenue.

Police determined that it was the car that had just been involved in the drive-by shooting, and officers found a handgun inside the charred vehicle. Detectives are now working to determine who the car was registered to, and who owned the gun.

Three women have told the New York Times that music mogul Russell Simmons raped them, the latest in a cascade of serious allegations of sexual misconduct against powerful men in entertainment, media, politics and elsewhere.
